आषाढासु यशः प्राप्तिरुत्तरासु विषोकता । श्रवणे च शुभान् लोकान् धनिष्ठासु धनं महत् ॥
āṣāḍhāsu yaśaḥ prāptir uttarāsu viśokatā | śravaṇe ca śubhān lokān dhaniṣṭhāsu dhanaṃ mahat ||
آषاڑھا کے نکشتروں میں کامیہ شرادھ کرنے سے شہرت ملتی ہے؛ اُتّرا نکشتروں میں کرنے سے غم سے نجات؛ شروَن میں سعادت مند عوالم کی حصولی؛ اور دھنِشٹھا میں عظیم دولت حاصل ہوتی ہے۔

FAQs
Ritual action (karma) is presented as yielding differentiated results when aligned with proper calendrical/astral timing; the ethical subtext is disciplined observance rather than randomness—householders should act deliberately and with śraddhā (reverence).
Primarily Dharma/Ācāra material rather than the five cosmological marks; it is ancillary instruction typical of Purāṇas, not directly sarga/pratisarga/vaṃśa/manvantara/vaṃśānucarita.
Nakṣatras function as ‘time-gates’: aligning offerings to ancestors with specific lunar mansions symbolizes harmonizing human intention (kāma) with cosmic order (ṛta), producing corresponding ‘worldly’ and ‘otherworldly’ fruits.
